I think that's the case Mrs. User. I have always been a fan of his comedy. Even when he took the conservative shift. I still liked his work, but noticed the decline as well. Maybe he should take a few months off and maybe try to do an Al Franken kind of thing. I think politics in general need all the comedians they can get.
I'm still mulling over Mr Backwards rewrite of history. Here's some info. I'm no yankee. I have southern roots. I know a lot about how most white southerners feel about slavery and racism. Most white southerners seem to aspire to the philosophies of the "New South". Which in my opinon is a noble philosophy. But clouding the fact that the dixie flag can be interpeted into a racist symbol with a diatribe of the New South is just n
Well Lucas, I think traitor pretty much covers it when you fire shots at a US military base. Loyal citizens don't seceed from a country and then fire cannonballs at the Army.
I'm glad i can make you chuckle once in a while whip.
My god, that is quite possibly the worst retort i have ever had posted in my blog. And just so you know, it's my opinion. i owe no one an apology for it.
I missed her comment on Shovel's article. I'll read it later.
I am a firm believer in the "reap what you sow" philosophy. My purpose in writing this article was not to choose sides. I do hold the same opinion as dabe when it comes down to it. But the reason i wrote it was to point out that neither side in this issue was gaining any ground. I do need to point out one thing Whip. (you're not gonna like it, but i say it in the vein of "constructive criticism" so don't hate me for it.) I have seen you on man
Thanks Guy. Appreciate it!
Absolutes? I left the door wide open! Sheesh!
In the end Guy, it's not Dabe who made that flag a symbol of hatred and bigotism. It was the folks who flew it during a racist and cruel period of our countries history. To blame it on the north is inacurate. To say that everyone who likes the rebel flag is a devout follower of those principles is also inacurate. Racism will always dog those who fly it. It represents racism to a great many americans. Not just black folks. It also represents
(Shaking head) I think i understand how Dabe feels. I've been in the same boat before. You may not like what she has to say. Nobody says you have to like what anybody says. Including those who oppose her here on JU. But everybody is entitled to their opinions. If you dont like what someone is saying...Don't read and/or comment on their posts! That goes both ways too. If you don't like what Mod says, Don't read his posts either! C'
I'm not suprised miler... : : I have two. My grandfathers pocket knife, and a miniature Tonka firetruck. It was my favorite toy.
Howdy folks, I have been following Dabe's article "The Confederate Flag" recently. Rarely do i ever feel the need to expand on someones thread. I figure it's not my place to run with or against the author's writings. But, as usual the ever touchy subject of racism has turned ugly. I just wanted to say one thing to everybody on both sides.....ok?
Very good!
What you convienently omit here is that The repubs blocked four times as many judicial nominees during bubba's presidency than the dems have. And don't count out Bill Richardson.
i already have a Porsche. : : So i would say sex, then food, then....another Porsche! Bea Arthur is off the table (shudder)
Under no circumstances should it be flown over any government building. But if someone wants to fly it over their home or business. That's their right. Freedom of speech and expression clearly gives them the right to do that.
I see it this way. We dont see much of the Nazi flag or the rising sun of Japan anymore. Why? because we defeated them in a little thing called WW2. The confederate flag should be viewed the same way. They rebelled, they lost. I think nowadays it's more of a cultural declaration. A way of saying "i'm a white southerner". The problem lies in the fact that the symbol reflects images of the old south back on those who were vicimized b
Keep at it NJ. You're a damn good writer!
If that's the new communion i'll consider going back to mother church!
I heard about the spot. I gotta go download a clip of it. I'm a huge QOTSA fan.
Jeez, this just keeps getting better and better man. What's their problem with the hair? And the homeschooling? I thought texas was all about having the right to raise your kids how you see fit. Sounds more like small town Utah to me Gid.
Sad. Truly sad Gid.
I understand it in Med school Ted. But high school teachers arent doctors or vets. What if the doggie wasn't as sedated as he calims? Then it's just torture in my humble opinion.
Shocked....horrified...amused. It's all good Mano! : : i agree Mason
